Jonathan Sugarfoot Moffett 🥁🥁🥁🎇
Any video you post I'm watching it until the end!
Fire🔥🔥🔥
You are the best in the world.... awesome!!
Awesome! I knew you are a machine (since I saw you and MJ in Cologne) but the end of this.......WOW!
7:10 EPIC
Drummers use metronome for timing
Metronome use Sugarfoot for timing
Hell yeah
Thanks bro for made my day.... By reading this i laugh all the way.....
Really funny 🤣🤣
Greatest comment yet. !!
That sums it up perfectly.
un chiste que tiene 35 años
Im pretty sure when he looks in front he still sees MJ performing ❤️❤️❤️
P00NM45T3RFL3XXX Ur just a big troll, what are you even doing here if you believe that Michael Jackson was a bad person that did that kind of stuff please get the fuck outta here
Tyrone de Vreugd he’s upset they didn’t get Michael with anything. He rather see a brother fall then succeed
P00NM45T3RFL3XXX How come it has been PROVEN WITH FACTS that Michael Jackson did not do it and that the parents (convicted fraudsters) lied? Watch Square One and you’ll feel terrible that you ever believed such crazy lies about the kindest man that ever lived!
Man that touching 😭
Tell us how you became MJ's drummer. We would all love to hear that story, and how did you choose these specific beats.
Since jacksons victory tour
The Jackson brothers said in a documentary that they were looking for a drummer and there was a specific Jackson's song, I think it was "shake your body down", that they would ask auditioning drummers to play. The story goes that they told drummers to play this song to have a laugh watching them struggle as the drum parts was recorded by combining two different drum parts together because it was too difficult for one man to play both at the same time.
Sugarfoot then says that he went in to audition, played the difficult part flawlessly, and he watched the brother's jaw drop and then start whispering to one another. He was worried that he did a bad job, but the brothers looked to him and told him that it was actually two people playing the drums in the record, to which sugarfoot says "really? I thought it was just one guy doing it"
From that point, he became the drummer for the Jacksons victory tour I believe, and later went to play for Michael when he went solo.
@@aniisnotok5099 that's epic
Watch the end of the video or watch smooth criminal video of him playing. That should answer your question.
@@aniisnotok5099 That is epic.
I wonder how Jonathan and Michael discussed, because when Michael strikes a pose, Jonathan's drum beating always follows Michael's every moves perfectly.
It's Jonathan who paid attention to Michael's move and changed up some parts of the drum beat in the original record, that's why Michael was impressed by him! ❤️
EDIT: I don't mean they didn't discuss. The above is what I've heard from Johnathan himself in an interview.
@@mrericwong Thanks! What a precious information! Thanks again from Japan!
@@mrericwong Then that means he’s got some improv eh?!
Watch it till the end, becouse that's the best part 👏
Jonathan I watched the video again today and still got impressed 😁
By the way do you have any vid of the "who is it" song?
That snare! OMG. And the timing. Like a machine!!
You have incredible snare technique, man.
M Davydd Pattinson yeah those rim shots
It's literally 1 am here and I'm in my Kitchen dancing!! Did the moonwalk and everything!! This is awesome! Plus that Kung Fu Solo was Soo different but was also also Awesome!! Love you Jonathan!! Love from INDIA 🇮🇳
6:04 Not only Michael Had A Dance Breakdown On Billie Jean But Sugarfoot Had A Drum BreakDown Too!
I notice that Jonathon's timing was exact and perfect to hit the snare and the last part after the song ended, Man this is just amazing it's hard work!!!!
This is the perfect example of how mathematics is musical. In every way - but especially as far as timing and consistency are concerned - he's on another level.
Going back to the HIStory tour for this one! Amazing!
All the Drum Computers could learn a lot from Sir Jonathan "Sugarfoot" Moffett.
He's unbelievable. His timing and attack is so precise and on point nobody could ever beat him.
I've listening to this a few times very concentrated, one with those studio noise cancelling headphones...He is flawless on the beats!!
Sugarfoot= Power, musicality, dynamics, timing. Love your whole approach bro!
This is pure treasure right here! LOVE the remix at the end!
I am instantly transported to that time when I first heard this on vinyl in '83, good times. Still listening and grooving to this in 2020. Thank you Jonathan!
Stable, constant & powerful. You are my favorite drummer.
Thank you Johnathan. Your the best man. I love how you still perform MJ’s stuff love it absolutely love it. God bless you. ❤️😎
AWESOME!!! The way you work the hi-hat and cymbals is incredible...and your footwork on that bass drum towards the end proves you're in league of your own!! Me and so many others have MUCH LOVE for you my brother!!
Destiny Tour 2nd Leg aka Jackson 5. MJ love the way he matched MJ's moves.
Incredible! I especially like the solo at the end. chokes are precise
I’m also a drummer....
And the last 45 seconds or so of that ending THE TIMING and FOCUS is just plain SICK !!!
The end is the best!! Great technique! Keep playing just as amazing! 👌👌
Amazing groove and power Mr. Moffett. This material is amazing. Greetings from Peru!!!
Sugarfoot has an awesome drumbeat with or without music.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Completely and utterly AWESOME! Could you do an in depth video on your snare? Technique, tuning, etc... I must say it is GOLD. I would love to learn from the master! I’m sure others would also!
Me too!
I am a big long time fan of Jonathan the best drummer inspired me since the 80s
This version of Billie Jean by Mj and Jonathan is bestest. Even thou I love all.
Thanks for this video! Master @ work !!
He is the best drums man behind the king of Pop MJ
the Legend strikes again
Esse cara certamente é o cara que mais sente saudades Michael Jackson 🥺
Nao entendo nada de bateria mas sigo assistindo aqui xD
I can't believe no ones showing respect for the no look alternating one handed cymbal chokes.
Nasty. Sweet beautiful nasty.
That stands on it own.
Absolutely !!
He does it so effortlessly that folks don’t appreciate the difficulty of pulling of the alternating different side chokes on 2 different levels and still not missing a snare or hi hat strike....and in some cases multiple high hat strikes.
Just phenomenal !!
Thanks for the solo at the end. Made my day.
Thanks for this camera angle. Its helps for new drummers trying to piece it all together :P
You’re so talented ! Each of your video is a tribute to MJ.
Sou grande fã do seu trabalho aqui no Brasil. Espero um dia ser metade do profissional que você é.
What timing perfection
Love your work Johno
Fantastico, increible
Beautiful! What a talented gentleman!
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!
Simply Awesome 👌
Simply Amazing!!!
Perfectly varied and precise flow.

Absolute legend - makes me want to get back into drumming again :-D
WOOOW this is amazing Sir , thanks so much !
Awesooooomeeeeeeeee!! The ending is amazing!!

💯🎶🎶🎵🎼👍👍
El sonido es impresionante ,
El ritmo Suena original
We love sugar foot! ive been a fan all these years and never knew it!
Eres el mejor, saludos desde mexico❤️🥁
Brings back great memories this, listening to Michael Jackson as a teenager. I dare say you have some great memories of that time yourself. My favourite song was always " wanna be starting something " and still is. Watched you play that on Drumeo, im no drummer, but that bass drum footwork is bloody amazing on that. If Bruce Lee was still here hed be hitting the like just for the end part on this one🤝 Its great to watch someone with proper skill, not just drumming but anything. All the best from an old Scot🍻
Legend ❤✌🇺🇸 your the best.
Last two minutes is soo amazing
Incrible.. el baterista de michael.♥️
Never miss a beat, brilliant stuff.
Master drummer!
I always love the tempo of Billie Jean, is fucking great, i consider it the greatest song of all time.
That hi hat technique gets me every time
StarLightSun... RiP M.J. *2020 Thx Jonathan.... Perfect...
Biggest lesson I learned here was the effectiveness of hitting 2 completely different cymbals at the same time!! Not just 2 big crashes for power. So many different sounds and options.
Well done, that's the best thing I've ever seen. 👍🏻🖤
God of Drumm'$ !! Guru ! Bravo !
And love your setup for ur drumset
Sensacional!!!! Show!!!!!
Saudades do Michael Jackson!!!!!!
Pelos menos, o super baterista Jonathan, nos ajuda a matar um pouco a saudade, deste espetacular artista: Michael Jackson!!!!
Buenos días. Impresionante , maravillosa, sublime canción de Michael Jackson.
You are the only one that keeps the cymbals in a particular position.
Amazing!
You are a master sir!
Amazing, this is the best drum video I ever seen. Really a true legend Mr. Moffett. Best Regards from Chile.
Excellent 👌
Album off the wall 1979
Incrível!!!
That's very awesome how you started off with just the bass drum and the snare drum then added the high hat
Please "Smooth Criminal". Michael Jackson's music and your drumms is perfect.
Sos un grosoo te amoooo i love youuuuuu❤ blessings❤❤
Amazing 🙏🙏✌️✌️
Brilliant!
Manda muito.bravoo
What a spectacle! greetings from Brazil
Love you man!
superb
Perfection 🙏🏻
Awesome!!
wow! you're the best!
I play more instruments and I am a teacher for intermediate and advanced levels. For me is a privilege to pursue such a professional. Sugarfoot is a man blessed with an extraordinary simplicity. He learned to play the instrument from talent, alone by ear. Such people are at a level where few understand them. Michael Jackson was a perfect artist with an extraordinary exigency, you could hardly satisfy all his desires. To be a drummer in a tour with over 80 shows in a year you need endurance. It's fabulous to listen all Sugarfoot interpretations. The man is more than a Swiss watch it is an Atomic clock. Good health Jonathan.
precise like a Swiss watch. With lots of soul.
This man is a National Treasure
love it !
Omg.l love it 👌 👌 👌 ❤
Woooow. I felt the rhythm I was dancing.
I love Michael Jackson and how you drummed for him love your drumming I'm a drummer also but yeah
P00NM45T3RFL3XXX funny how you believe those fake allegations, there isn’t proof that any of this happend, and their story’s don’t add up, look at the facts and not the dirty lies its al for the money.
Machine.
Best drummer ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Your timing 🤤sounds so easy, but isn‘t. Thats why you are so great.
